Had an ‘03 Z71 truck. Solid truck. Extended cab, not crew cab. Put 100,000 miles on it, sold in 2012 and bought a crew cab F-150.

Did you have the dash instrument cluster problem ?  And the multi zone AC issues ?  Seems like they all have those issues.
Hmmm, I don't recall either of those issues with the Tahoe.

The transmission on the '95 Blazer I had before that, went out at 120K miles.  But I'd been using it for towing my boat and unlike the Tahoe, it did NOT have a separate transmission cooler.  When I had it rebuilt, I added one, and no more problems with that.

1. DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska
Key accomplishments: 2009 Lombardi Award, 2009 Outland Award, 2009 Bronko Nagurski Trophy, 2009 AP college football player of the year, 2009 Heisman finalist; 49.5 career tackles for loss, 24 career sacks, 4 interceptions, 2 touchdowns.

A four-star prospect from Oregon, Suh enjoyed three good years before posting one of the most devastating individual seasons in college football history. Suh was unblockable in 2009. Despite triple-teams, countless holding penalties (called and uncalled) and entire game plans designed to avoid the middle of the field, he made 20.5 TFLs with 12 sacks. His performance in the Big 12 championship game against Texas -- seven TFLs, 4.5 sacks -- was among the best ever. I realize we don't give Heismans to defensive players, but it's still utterly inexcusable that he didn't win the Heisman that year. Best player of the 2000s and one of the best of all time.

All 3 of Tebow's passing seasons were better than Young's best, plus he had 20 more rushing TDs.

But you know, the Rose Bowl....ffs.

If the XIICG stats are included in his season stats, then Suh is overrated.  13.5 TFL and 7.5 sacks is unremarkable, sorry.
.
UPDATE
Khalil Mack is 13th.  Bill Connolly is officially unable to detach college and pro.  Sigh.

Vince Young was magical to watch and people remember that.  

Oh noes, someone made a ranking I don't like!  Time to cry about it!

stats obviously don't tell the whole story

Khalil Mack played in the Mid-American Conference - high school defense

Cincy at Colorado????

what Cincy fans are traveling in droves to Boulder?

I'd think that Colorado in Lincoln would be tougher
maybe I will hit a scalper for a paper ticket out front 15 minutes before KO
